* You can buy flood insurance no matter where you live in Connecticut, provided they are NFIP participating communities, which are cities and towns that agree to adopt and enforce sound floodplain regulations. See list of Connecticut communities that participate in the NFIP at: http://www.fema.gov/cis/CT.html
